Great idea. Since we're reminiscing, unless I have you mistaken for someone else, I suspect that we both may have been a part of the same community way back when. Regardless, I look forward this; sounds like it could be fun.

There's been a Kickstarter called Nope for cams for a few years now, they exceeded funding by a large multiple each time. I got the second version a year ago, they are now on version 3 and added a headphone jack blocker. https:/&

On Android, there's a prompt when a paired device requests access to your contacts/call history/messages, and you can deny the request. It's irrelevant to play audio but it allows the car to give you a built-in interface

"CCleanup" appears to be a wordplay on "cleaning up CCleaner", but it's confusing and unnecessary. Even though the original article is named that way, I propose changing the thread title to the proper, well-known ap

Let's not confuse a lack of proper design hierachy with "flat UI". Actionable elements like buttons blending into the background do not signify "flat design" per se. Neither do purple non-underlined links vs. blue+u

Orbital platforms that are still operated by Earth-based astronomers, no? I don't intend to argue semantics, just think it's a poor (and somewhat funny) choice of words.

I share your sentiment about the buggy software and the unresponsive devs; I moved to Atom for the same reason. However great Atom is though, it's unbelievably slow and nearly unusable because of that. Unfortunately, I haven't bee

Seriously, downvoted without an explanation? That's quite poor. If something about my post offends anyone, I'd love to know about it.

Wouldn't that just consolidate the attackable footprint? What if openid, or your openid account, got hacked?

I believe the hypothesis is that age may very well play an important factor in the development of the immune system. What your body learns in the first 3-4 months of your life is not equal to what it learns during the next 6... It's mo

That boggled my mind for some time as well, but if you follow the rabbit, the answer is quite simple. Whenever someone asks a new question, Amazon sends an email to previous buyers of the product. The email is worded in a way that entices a

PSA: If you haven't updated yet, I'd wait. The new version apparently broke syntax highlighting for many languages. Check out their support forum[1] - it's causing ripples. [1] https://forum.sublimetext.com/c&

Interesting... I just checked and apparently I'm on a grandfathered free plan that can still unsync. Didn't know they changed it. For me, it's still more than just a feature addition though - I use odrive for all my cloud sto

This sounds like the exact feature I've been desperately looking for, for quite some time now, watching Microsoft discontinue online-only files in Onedrive because "it confused customers", and shaking my head at the blatant l

Agreed, plus I believe they split 1:2 in 2003, which has to be accounted for as well.

How are sites that store your CC data for later purchases able to charge your card without storing the CVV? Amazon, for example, and pretty much every subscription/SaaS product.

There are so many things wrong with your comment, I don't even know where to start. I think you might either be 8 years old, or simply trolling. Based on that, I don't see any reason to invest any time and energy into replying fac

There could another level to this. 1. Spread the word that mass surveillance is already standard practice in one country 2. Wait for public outrage to ensue 3. Stack on more and more revelations (dilute) while mixing in some that are less i

I don't have any evidence to support this, but I can't believe they wouldn't have any filters in place to weed out all the nasty stuff people are googling.

Whether it's real time or not doesn't have anything to do with the letter case.

Perhaps the same thing that seems to have convinced most every Apple user that their products are magical and categorically superior to every other product in existence: good marketing paired with illusory naivety on the receiving end.

Switching to Chromium was a big mistake IMO, seeing how inferior, unstable, and slow the new Android app is compared to the original. I get it, they had to cut costs, so they fired a bunch of people and gave up their proprietary edge. It ju
